- Pygmy Forth version 1.3
- copyright 1989, 1990 Frank C. Sergeant
- 809 W. San Antonio St.
- San Marcos, TX 78666
-
- The executable file is PYGMY.COM. It should run on any IBM/clone
- type computer using the standard video addresses of $B0000 for
- monochrome or $B8000 for color (as almost all do) and having at least
- 128K bytes of RAM and at least a single floppy or hard disk.
-
- See FILES.DOC for a description of the other files included in
- this package.
-
- If the files are zip'd or arc'd, uncompress them. Make a copy, so
- you can fall back if you or fate or human error screw up the original
- files.
-
- The only file you have to have to run is PYGMY.COM. You'll
- probably want the source code file (PYGMY.SCR) in the same directory.
- You'll probably also want the empty source code file (YOURFILE.SCR)
- which is provided for source code you write. YOURFILE.SCR is included
- so you won't need to worry about creating or opening files as you start
- out. Since all of the included files easily fit on a single 360K
- floppy, you might as well put all of them on your work floppy or in one
- directory of your hard disk.
-
- To start the program, make the directory &/or disk that contains
- the Pygmy files the default, and type PYGMY <Enter> from the DOS
- prompt. Pygmy Forth will come up with its greeting and a list of files
- that it has opened. You should see two files, PYGMY.SCR and
- YOURFILE.SCR.
-
- Read the text file PYGMY.TXT for further information on using
- Pygmy, printing out the source code, meta-compiling, using the
- assembler, etc.
